Notes on this filing
- Applied, admitted and enrolled totals are first-time, first-year degree-seeking figures. Applied (28,230) and admitted (1,699) are sums of the male and female C1 counts; the unknown-sex applied count of 12 is included in applied.
- C2: waitlist block has only the offered count (2,497). The accepted-place and admitted-from-waitlist counts are blank.
- C22: early action plan question is blank, so early action fields are null.
- C8F clarification is blank; test policy summarized from C8A and the SAT/ACT grid.
- C11 GPA bands and C12 average GPA are blank, so GPA fields are null and pct_below_3_50 cannot be summed.
- B4-B11 four-year graduation rate is not printed (only the 2019 cohort six-year rate of 95% is shown), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
- B22 retention rate is printed as 98.0%; the filing's own counts (1,158 of 1,182) give the same figure.
- H2 line d is 'awarded any financial aid' rather than need-based aid, so avg_need_based_package uses J (average financial aid package) and avg_need_based_grant uses K.
- pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed directly in H2, so it is null.
- G1 private tuition and fees are first-year values; the filing lists $69,207 tuition with no in-state/out-of-state split.
